Yes, It's good news for sheep and wheat. Not so good for goats and chaff! Clare. |

What a wealth of information Clare! I think if you suggested to the average Catholic that he/she could pray to Abraham, Moses and others the response would be one of incredulousness. Also to suggest we pray to our loved ones in Heaven may raise eyebrows and cause a pause before concluding "Why not?". I was pleased to note that responses so far show that some do and I am sure the loved ones will be very happy to respond. Many years ago I knew a devout Catholic who prayed for the Holy Souls in Purgatory for his intentions and said he had never been let down. |

Yes. But do you deny that there will be a separation of sheep from goats? That there will be a separation of wheat from chaff? Do you deny that Our Lord said that it would be better if Judas had never been born? Or that He said that anyone who scandalise a little one would be better off with a millstone round his neck and thrown into the sea? Or that not everyone who says "Lord Lord" would enter the Kingdom of Heaven? That the way to Heaven is straight and narrow, whereas the path to Hell is broad? Presumption is a sin against Hope. Clare. |

I have no difficulty saying "Dad, I need a bit of help on this one". Sometimes I forget to thank him, but I suppose he got used to that when he was alive on Earth. Is there anything in Scripture or Church teaching about asking for the intercession of our loved ones? There must be, because miracles, in response to requests for intercession, are used towards beatification and canonisation causes. |

Question: Does the above mean that the body of people in the Church Militant (ie those still living on earth) and the body of people in the Church Suffering (ie in Purgatory) have a mutual exchange of prayer as groups rather than on a one to one basis? |

I pray a tiny litany daily for those known to me, or mentioned, who committed suicide. I most solidly trust that the Almighty Father will accede to my request. PJD |
